Solitary Cat

Solitary Cat is a solitaire game based on Klondike, 40 Thieves and Bakers Game. You move cards between play, buffer and victory slots, using same-suit sequences to build toward a win.

Card slots

The top two rows are victory slots, marked with “A.” To win, fill them with cards of the same suit in ascending order from Ace to King. Below them, buffer slots hold one card each and provide space for swapping. Play slots contain cards you can draw from and move; cards placed there must be in same-suit descending order from King to Ace.

At the bottom, a rotating deck consists of specialized play slots, marked with a pentagon when empty. You can take cards from these slots, but cannot place cards in them. Once emptied, a specialized slot behaves like a buffer slot. Dragging outside cards and the interface rotates the deck, as does using the mouse wheel. Middle-click or press the spacebar to reverse its direction.

Move and undo cards

Drag cards to move them. Tapping a card attempts to move it automatically, first to a victory slot and then to a play slot. If no move is available, the card shakes; if several moves are available, it shakes excitedly and the possible destinations are highlighted by rotating their cards. Pressing and holding a card attempts to move it to a buffer slot; the progress bar at the top must be full before you release it.

“Nevermind” undoes previous actions, and can be used strategically. You can undo up to two full decks of actions, or 104 moves. Cards in the play slots reveal themselves so that five cards are always face up; they remain face up even after you undo an action.

Customize card colors

From the main menu’s Card Colors section, you can change the main card color for each suit and adjust each suit’s hue and saturation.
